Looking up at you!

What a pleasant surprise to run into someone I admire. Last night I went to a happy hour with a friend and afterwards we stepped into a local dive bar to have a drink and wallah.....Amy Sarabi! For those who are unaware, she was on the most recent Project Runway, yes the one that Seth Aaron won. Seth Aaron lives in my home town and I adore him. I was rooting for him to win. First because of the home town connection and then because of his talent. Amy had nothing but great things to say about Seth Aaron and told me that she agreed his win was well deserved. She joked that he would have completed a whole suit by the time she had finished a half of a pair of leggings. The show was apparently even more stressful than it looks on T.V, she mentioned they usually only got about 10 hours to complete the garments. Amy was a absolute doll, I was nervous about talking to her because I didn't want to act all star struck but she was just a normal gal albeit a very talented one. She also said she loved my outfit which was such a complement coming from her! Luckily I took some photos of my outfit before I left home.

Here I am with Amy and her friend Sage (they attended design school together) Sage now works in L.A designing jeans.

Pretty Pirate Designs

Who is this Pretty PIrate?

Pretty Pirate Designs is the name of my clothing line, Etsy shop and blog. My friend Ian started calling me and some other pretty ladies pretty pirates a few summers ago, in the midst of all kinds of fun on a island outside of Seattle. I thought it was so fun and cute that I renamed my clothing line after it. Thanks ur a peeing Ian!

The real pretty pirate is a student of life, follower of the light, hairstylist, clothing designer, jewelry designer and artist. I love beauty and can see it in everything and everyone. I live in San Francisco where the love is always happening.
